While Detroit sports fans are looking forward to Lions football, Chicagoans are not quite ready to watch Da Bears.

Da Cubs are sitting on the playoff bubble, 123 games in.

The Tigers host the Cubbies on Monday.

Detroit’s Alex Faedo’s last two starts were against the Twinkies. Faedo was solid, allowing three runs over 9 2/3 innings, both no-decisions.

The Cubs’ Javier Assad earned another start after giving up three runs over 13 innings.

Play $50 on the Cubs. 

Nothing has gone right all week.

Sure, my team, the Sfogliatellas, won our local bocce tournament.

But our baseball picks? Gutterballs. And then … even a blind squirrel finds a nut every so often.

We bet the Orioles, the best team in the American League, would beat the Athletics, the AL’s worst. The O’s topped the A’s, 12-1.

Kyle Bradish tossed six shutout innings. Ryan Mountcastle, Gunnar Henderson and Jorge Mateo homered.

Skid is over, but the damage is done.

We are down -1,380 earlweavers.
